Grape(s): Nero d'Avola
Winemaker: Giambattista Cilia & Giusto Occhipinti
Drinks Best: Now - 5 years

In 1980 friends Cilia, Occhipinti and Strano together bought a small parcel in Southern Sicily with the common goal of making wine reminiscent of their ancestors. The trio epitomizes natural winemakers - chemical pesiticides or fertilizes are never used in their vineyards and aging takes place in sustainable, large clay vats, called amphoras, that date back to Egyptian-era winemaking. This biodynamically farmed Nero d’Avola is full of subtle smoke, savory herbs like sage and thyme, along with soft fruit, red currants and black cherries. True to history and terrior, this is a beautiful representation of Sicilian wine at its finest. 

pairing: carcioffi - whole baby fried artichokes
